Carvin Vacations from $1,111

This hotel is in a prime spot in Arras. One of the oldest properties in the town and right on Grand Place, it is 15 minutes walk from the train station with lots of restaurants close by. The staff were very helpful and responded quickly to my emails. It is an old hotel in an old building so the range of amenities is not wide but it does have a lovely courtyard, perfect for a coffee or something stronger if you prefer. Breakfast was continental with a good choice. If you want something very French and of its period you won't be disappointed.

A shame the staff was unable to prepare a breakfast box for the day I checked out because I had to leave earlier to catch a train. Apart from that, very nice hotel.

This is a really good hotel, just over an hour from Calais. Probably the best offer in 20 years of travelling this route. Great rooms, easy parking, helpful staff team.

Very convenient if coming in using Eurostar. From the train arrival, we were in the hotel within 10 mins. Friendly staff, my room was near corner so larger than average compared to my friends. Very unlikely I’ll be in Lille again but highly recommend anyone who does go to book here.

Great location and friendly staff. It was probably beautiful and luxurious in the past, it needs some renovation.
